Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate+ vs. Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 vs. Nexen N Blue 4 Season vs. Nokian WeatherProof

When considering all-season tyres, two options that stand out among the rest are the Michelin CrossClimate+ and Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750. Both of these tyres offer excellent levels of performance and durability, but there are a few differences between them that could sway you towards one over the other.

Firstly, the Michelin CrossClimate+ is a reliable and efficient tyre, securing a second place position in both Autobild and Autoklub ÈR tests, and sixth place in the ACE tests. With a 71% rating on our website, it showcases superior comfort, excellent dry handling and efficient snow traction. Even though it's slightly pricey, it brings strong dry and snow handling, braking, and high mileage to justify its cost. Furthermore, it's praised for low exterior noise and reduced rolling resistance, enhancing its overall performance and comfort.

The biggest disadvantage of the CrossClimate+ comes from a noticeable vulnerability to curve aquaplaning, which slightly affects its wet handling capabilities. Overall, it's a worthwhile option if you value balance and durability, and don't mind paying extra for premium performance.

On the other hand, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 made its impression with an outstanding rating of 84%, being one of the top performers and securing a commendable fourth place in the Autobild test, while coming sixth and fifth in Autoklub ÈR and ACE tests respectively. Unlike its Michelin counterpart, the Kinergy 4S2 H750 impresses with its impressive wet handling capabilities, boasting excellent wet braking and good cornering properties. This tyre also stands out for its exceptional aquaplaning performance in both cross and longitudinal measurements, while demonstrating great dry handling and performance in the snow.

Yet, the Kinergy 4S2 H750 has one significant drawback, which is its mediocre mileage and somewhat satisfying comfort. Regardless, if you're after a budget-friendly all-season tyre that doesn't compromise on performance, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 shouldn't be overlooked.

In conclusion, both the Michelin CrossClimate+ and Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 have their respective strengths and weaknesses. If you prefer a tyre prioritizing dry performance, comfort, high mileage and don't mind premium pricing, go for the Michelin. If your main concern is wet handling and aquaplaning, and you're on a budget, the Hankook is the tyre for you. Ultimately, the best tyre will depend on your specific driving conditions and needs.
